My 29th birthday is approaching, which is a bit of a shame as I have quite liked being 28. 28 feels like an adult, but still in a glamorous, youthful way. 29 does not have the same ring to it! However, in preparation for that birthday, I thought I would do a list of thirty things that I would like to achieve before I am thirty – I’ve seen a few of these around on the internet and have found them interesting. Hopefully it will help you learn a little more about me and also help me stick to it when I revisit it before my 30th!
In no particular order….
1. Have a dog in my life
2. Start my PhD (more on this later)
3. Start writing again by continuing my blog and writing at least one short story
4. Save at least £300 a month
5. Read all of Shakespeare’s history plays (and try to go and see a few)
6. Go swimming at least once a week
7. Reach out to friends once a month (at least)
8. Stand on the Great Wall of China
9. See the Northern Lights
10. Save up for a gorgeous handbag

20. Wear more bright lipstick
21. Spend more time with my family
22. Try to stop the nervous habit of chewing the inside of my cheeks
23. Invest in some good skincare and floss every day
24. Listen to more music – buy those cd’s you’ve been thinking about and dig out your iPod
25. If it is not beautiful or useful, get rid of it!
26. Kiss my husband everyday
